There will be a 3 week page break while I do the prep work for Chapter Three. For this first week, here are close-ups of some of my favorite drawings from Chapter 2. 😀

Page 45. This wraps up Chapter 2! There will be a one week chapter break, so no update next week. The break is so I can write Chapter Three’s script. I’m pretty excited: Chapter three is going to finally take us to the planet Pelkern, woohoo!

Page 44, Chapter 2. I worked and reworked the dialogue on this page. I’m pretty happy with how it came out though, as well as the expressions in Panels 1-5. 😀
Foliage Study
Concept Art week.
This is one of my first digital paintings, from 2016. I sat on the stone steps in front of our townhouse with the smallest-size Wacom tablet hooked into a cheap laptop. I painted the foliage that I could see just beyond the parking lot, and I thought “maybe this whole digital thing could actually be fun.” It’s three years later, and I have no regrets on switching to digital painting.

Page 43. I redid the dialogue. My husband came up with Ace’s new line, and I think it works much better.
Page 43 – Color version going up sometime after lunch
I’ll have the color version up, in the Pelkern Cycle thread (instead of here on the concept art thread), later today. 🙂
New Schedule
I’ll be alternating comic pages and concept art Wednesdays. 🙂

This is the line-art of page 42, I’ll get the color version up here later this week.
Eleanor sketch from 2014
I’m working on finishing up the final 4 pages of Chapter 2. In the meantime, here is a sketch of Eleanor I drew in 2014.
In this drawing she is in her mid to late 40’s, right around when her grandson Ace was born. I love her face in the left drawing.
My Drawing Process for Human Characters
I start with a skeleton, then add muscles/anatomy, then clothes/armor. This is a panel from Page 43, where Artor is talking to his wife Eleanor.
Here it is as a video:
I have a batch of Pages 42-45 in progress, and I hope to have Page 42 up next week. These four pages will finish up the chapter. : D
